HOW WE CAN HELP

Group Logistics Pty Limited acquired the MaxiCut Rejuvenation System in 2016 to assist with the growing demand for eutypa control and to provide an efficient solution to vine disease.

Operated by GLOG Viticulture, the MaxiCut process is a rewarding investment for vineyard owners through the application of a cost effective, unique and innovative approach to rejuvenate vines using strong hydraulic vine shears.

The system has been proven effective in the removal of eutypa, as well as the conversion to cane pruning, the removal of old wood and the art of grafting.

MaxiCut is a dedicated program that has delivered superb results, demonstrating a 30-100% increase in fruit production, even within the first year!

The strong, hydraulic shears are easily manoeuvrable with weightless, ergonomic movement, cutting through the toughest vines and strongest wires with ease.

ELIMINATE EUTYPA

Eutypa dieback is a major trunk disease in vineyards. The fungus grows slowly, causing stunted shoots and progressively killing spurs, cordons, trunks and eventually the entire vine.

The MaxiCut program eliminates Eutypa over a 1-2 stage process.

CONVERT TO CANE PRUNING

Many grape growers have made the decision to convert their vineyard from spur pruning to cane pruning for different reasons, achieving higher quality yields as a result.

MaxiCut makes it easy to efficiently transition to cane pruning without worrying about disease entering the vine.

REMOVE OLD WOOD

Over the years, old wood can build up on the vine, causing a decrease in sap flow, fruit quality and production.

MaxiCut is an effective way to easily remove old wood, and has been proven successful against some of Australia's oldest, largest and toughest vines.

PREPARE FOR GRAFTING

Grafting is the process of converting one variety to another by inserting the bud of the new variety into the trunk of the old variety.

The MaxiCut Vine Shears make for easy grafting preparation by cleanly cutting back the vine at the trunk in preparation for grafting.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We have seen our yields increase by up to 100% in this first year. Once our watershoots have developed, in approximately two years, we are able to cut out the main trunk and train the new vine to the wire. Use of eutypa protecting sprays is important when all cuts are made to protect the vine from reinfection.

I have been most impressed with the MaxiCut system and the knowledge that John and his team freely impart to enable this system of reworking. The teams are efficient, clean and professional with their work.

The greatest benefit that I can see from this system for our vineyard is that we can still continually produce fruit, in fact higher yields, while training up our new vines.
